Is there a drill template for the Hydra? And could it be used with a bigger enclosure?

I didn't see a tayda drill template associated with the build docs with the Hydra. I had an idea to add an effects loop to the Hydra and bought one of those buff and blend circuits. I think I am a bit over my head but I am trying to get the parts and pcbs for the next year or so. I assume I could take drill template measurements and use on different enclosures since the values are from the centre? I was planning to use a wider enclosure to accomodate the effects loop. Would a 1590bbs in landscape orientation work with the Hydra and buff'n'blend?

I just realized that I had better not suck at this hobby. I am obtaining parts and PCBs for 10 projects and it is looking a bit more expensive than I initially thought it would be. Jumping in the deep end now!
 
We all start out think we are going to save money - you end up spending something similar because you end up building more and more.

When I looked on the build docs the temple was there - https://docs.pedalpcb.com/project/Hydra.pdf

On mine I used the faceplate as my drill template.
Sorry, I meant using the Tayda drill co-ordinate template so I don't have to borrow my friends hand drill. But I think I will need to anyways if I am not using the standard layout. It looks like I could use a 1590bb enclosure in landscape mode but I don't know if the hydra requires something with the 125b depth?

Just a thought, if you convert the pots and/or switches to off-board, you can place them where you like.
